Rule of Thirds

8th grade is doing an expedition combining math principles and art processes.  We first created tessellations (engaging in a discussion of symmetry, geometry, and measurement), now we are exploring math through the lens of photography (pun intended!).  We are learning about the compositional concept known as the rule of thirds.  We are starting tomorrow by taking a series of photos using and not using the rule of thirds.  Once the pictures are taken, on a separate day, we are then going to use befunky.com to create fun and creative photos.  Here are my examples:



Can you guess which ones use the rule of thirds? I actually like the one that doesn't use it best...
